Leners Patent No. 88,433, dated March 3o, 1869.

IMPROVED EXTENSION-TABLE.

The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of the same.

scription thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon. Y v i The nature of my invention consists in the construction and arrangement of a drop-leaf extension-table,

which will be hereinafter fully set forth.

, In order to enable others skilled in the art to which my invention appertains, to make and use the same, I will now proceed -to describe its construction and operation, referring `to the annexed drawings, which form a part of this specification, and in which- I1`igure 1 is a perspective view, and

vFigure 2, a bottom view.v

In all extension-tables heretofore made, the slides have been placed inside the frame which supports the table, and in such cases the table cannot be extended as'far as it .might if the slides were placed on the outside of the frame. v

By placing the slides on the outside of the frame, a less number of slides is necessary to extend the table the same distance, or by using they same number of slides, the table will be extended a greater distance, as

the slides can be ugade longer than ifplded inside the frame. A represents the table, on the under side of "hich the frame B is secured, said frame resting on le s G C. D 1) represent the slides, which are made in any of the known and usual ways, but placed on the outside of the frame B, andextend to the outer edges of tine` Same.

E is the cross-bar, with the two centre-legs F F,l

which cross-bar is secured to two of the slides, in such a manner thatthe legs F F will be under the centre of the table, both when the table is shut and open.

The table A is provided with t-wohinged leaves, G G, which, when raised, are each supported by two brackets, `H H, hinged to a bar, I, secured to the lside of the frame B, as shown in fig. 2.

Connected under each side of the stationary tableleaves A, of one end of the table, and extending outward from the same, is a stationary guide-board, D', which is made of the same material, and finished similarly to the leaves of the table and other exposed parts thereof, so that when the slides are closed in, the table presents a neat and finished appearance from its sides, as well as from its ends or other parts.

` Between the boards D and the frame B, from which" dependV the legs C, a receptacle, or wide `grooveris formed, within which the slides D lie when the table. is closed.

The table A may be of any shape or size desired. Having thus fully described my invention, What Iclaim as new, and desire to secure l1yI.ette.rs`

Patent,

The extension-table herein described, provided with a frame, B, at eacll end, and with slides D D, which are arranged outside .pf the frame, and, when closed, lie in a receptacle formed by said frame B, andthe stationary bars D D', all substantially as herein. set forth.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing, I have hereunto set my hand, this 1st day of February, 1869.
